This is a sketch I already wanted to do for a long time. But the numbers of stars always prevented me to start. On holiday in France (under a dark sky) I finaly found the courange. And what a surprice: I got a Nova as surplus. Two for the price of one!

This looks like a lot of work--I thought you were on holiday! I like the appearance of your widefield sketch and I am impressed with your determination. I was just out last night making an observation of the nova and taking in this view. Did you do this on white or black paper?

Here is a little feedback for your next attempt--I think the parallellogram of stars below Vega is a little too wide.
